Groups Provide Inner -Action No matter who we are in this P.S.U. world, whether a professor, a commuter, or a dorm resident, we all desire to be members of select groups. There is more to life than studying and working; there is fellowshiping with friends and acquaintances. Without realizing it many people associate with various groups throughout the day. At each meal friends meet to recap the events occurring throughout the day. Then classes present opportunities to form acquaintances which may develop into close friendships. In choosing a major a student immediate- ly links himself with others who share some similar goals. Often this group becomes the time-consuming object of a person ' s academic career. Usually juniors and seniors spend the majority of class time with their cohorts. Besides academic groups, there are other cliques students form. At night, men and women gather in the dorm rooms to study, listen to music, or simply gossip. Some nights there may be spur-of-the-moment parties where popcorn is popped and cokes poured and friends gather to laugh over corny jokes and crazy exper- iences. These cliques we form are not formal ones; they do not set rules for membership. The only prerequisite to being a part is sharing the interests of others. Professors share a union with other members of the faculty either by their field of teaching or outside hobbies. Commuters gather in the Wagon Wheel or student center and associate with members of their car pool or classes. Whatever the purpose behind forming friendly associations, these groups do serve as an interesting part of the college life.
